Athlete of the Month

Vanessa is from Montreal and reached out for coaching in September of 2022 with the goal of completing a 70.3. At the time there was no way she would be able to finish any of the distances let alone be making any cut off for a 70.3. But after 8 months of hard work and dedication, we got to witness her finish 70.3 12 minutes below the cut-off time. She completely dominated the race, never letting up.

Here is what Vanessa says:

“I reached out to coach Robin in September 2022 to let her know I was interested in training for a 70.3. At the time, I had no idea how much sacrifice and hard work this will be, but it has all been worth it. It’s amazing to look back and to see how much every training session helped me reach my goal. Robin has been patient and as dedicated as I am in my journey. I needed extra help in understanding gear for all three disciplines and she has been a great source of information. She always adapted my training plans to make sure I had time allocated to other important things in life and also let me know when it was time to prioritize training if I wanted to achieve my goal. After completing Eagleman 70.3, I have decided that this is only the beginning of the journey, and I am aiming for bigger things in the future with Rise Up Racing! Let’s keep on working hard and crushing our goals.”
